The significance of True RMS
29 November, 2011 byThe rapid changes in technology have meant that methods previously used for testing equipment are no longer accurate in many cases. Because an electrician comes across new technology on a regular basis, not to have a True RMS (root mean square) meter can be compared to a boxer going into a fight with one arm tied behind his back. In this article, Phil Collins, Engineering Support Manager, Techtronics Australia, explains what True RMS (TRMS) is and how to find it.

AMS Instrumentation KATflow clamp-on ultrasonic flow meters
15 September, 2011The KATflow clamp-on ultrasonic flow meters work on the transit-time method. This is based on the principle that sound waves travelling with the flow will move faster than those travelling against it. The resulting difference in transit time is directly proportional to the flow velocity of the liquid and consequently to the volumetric flow rate.
